I received the following message from David Atkinson, Operation eBook Drop's UK liaiason: "I have had contact today to say that two staff officers in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, are keen to support the idea. They are willing to push the word out and help with validating troop email requests. I should have the nuts and bolts of this set up soon and hopefully we can then add some more UK names to both the troop lists and author lists."  Ed Patterson

I fear that I'm guilty of lurking. I'm a very introverted and shy author...though to be fair, I lurked over here quite a bit too.

GO, David Atkinson! Bring on the Brits.  And Sierra - glad to know you're lurking, but if you post something, I promise not to bite.

An email I received yesterday from a new militatry member: "Thanks! I've already received a little over 50 emails from authors! "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore." Psalm 133 MAJ Jones, Vernon L. Jr. US Army Afghanistan. ecp

Given the number of participating authors at an average of 3 books per author (some hav one - some have a dozen or so) and given the 90 military points of light (troops), I estimate that Operation eBook Drop has DROPPED 88,000 eBook coupons. I don;t think it's less, but it probably is more. That's a helluva a lot of books offered out there.

Hi Ed - I am getting into this kind of late. Can you please direct me to the instructions on how to offer my title to the troops? I looked around the website and some of the pages here but I haven't had enough coffee to be patient.  Jenna
